Prompt #19. Everythingoes.
I didn’t know where I would end up when I took his hand. Little did I know it’d be more than a place.
I don’t know what was going through my mind while running to his car. My hand firm in his all the way to the vehicle. But it didn’t matter, the moment he looked at me over the car top, I knew there was no turning back.
He got inside and waited for me, my door open. But I stayed there a couple of seconds, doubting. He found my gaze through the window and called my name. I looked at him, I’m sure the panic filling my chest was clear in my eyes.
“You need this,” was all he said.
I didn’t know it then, but he was right.
The sky started to change colors before my eyes, from a clear baby blue to a quiet orange and a hopeful pink. The clouds too becoming a plethora of colors in our ride, like providing a show for us.
I was riding the wind with my hand, my hair flying in all directions, but I didn’t care. My eyes were closed, and the roaring of the wind filled my ears.
Little chuckles falling from his lips were the only thing pulling me to the real world again, but he was the creator of this show, he was the door to my escape world, how would I not be enlightened by his laugh?
Was it the ride for hours? Days? It sure felt like a forever for a moment, but I must had been mistaken. Maybe it was the latest color of the sky, a deep blue so hypnotizing, I swear it made tears stream down my face, just to be wiped by the back of a hand, still the only thing linking me to the world I wanted to escape. Him. Beautiful and terrible at the same time, just as that moment. Just as that eternal ride.
I braved myself and looked at him. His face was looking straight, hands on the wheel, maybe he had forgotten how to take them off after flying on this eternity of a road. I realized then the tears on his cheeks.
“I don’t want to lose you out there” he said, my hand half raised to him. He kept staring ahead, a dark aura all over him, like confessing a sin you’ve been keeping to yourself all this time.
“I don’t want to lose you out there,” he repeated, tears pouring, like a rain we failed to encounter on that forever, “but I damn love to see you lost in yourself right now.”
He was firing bullets, taking my breath away with every word. He was killing me softly and I remember how I didn’t give a hell about it.
I then looked at that hypnotizing blue again, this time with a smile on my lips and teardrops on my chin.
I didn’t know where I would end up when I took his hand. Little did I know it’d be more than a place.
